SEGA touts its tennis superstar roster for Viruta Tennis 2009 in a flashy new trailer. When it releases on the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii in May, you can all rest easy at night knowing that even the world's best tennis players will be willing to take time out of their busy regimen to help you with your game (at least virtually).

"Create your own player and join the new World Tour where you will be trained by a real-life legend of tennis to compete for the #1 ranking against the biggest stars. Then take your character online and prove you’re the best with the new online ranking system! With brand new courts, a new roll call of tennis stars to compete against and even more court mini-games, Virtua Tennis 2009 is set to be the #1 tennis title once again!"
